Just dealing with it,can't change it.Sitting in the backroom sadly rather hot.Took my afternoon latte to the bedroom and laid out for thirty mins.Slept on top of the bed last night.i guess same plan tonight.Only been out of the house twice today brown bin to the street,and to check how level is the shed it is out by one quarter of an inch,that will do,seeing i laid the slabs about twenty years ago.

I am in the coolest (north-facing) room in the house, doors and windows open, but it is still 25 degrees in here!

I had been thinking about doing a similar evening ride to yesterday's, only with an even gnarlier climb out of the valley**, but it is too hot for that. I will wait an hour or so then go and tackle a gentler lumpy loop.



** I found an entertaining video of the climb which I will post when I tackle it on a cooler evening.

I was out for four hours this morning. You are not the only one.

Get a bucket and fill with cold water and put your bare feet in.

Had a high of 38°C earlier this afternoon.
Air quality not as good though.

Around 32 to 33 here today, still took around a 1 to 2 mile walk onto local country park, see what wildlife is popping its head up there...predictably, very little.
Portable AC is on in my room, letting the girls sleep in there tonight, I will use the spare room...I feel quite guilty having a lovely cool room while theyre in a warm warm room. Actually, might sleep downstairs tonight, its a good few degrees cooler

Would it have been any cooler under the bed?
 
It was 30C in the shade here in this little corner of East Cambs. What it was in the sun, I've no idea.

House isn't too bad, 22C downstairs, 27 upstairs according to the thermometer on the landing. But it's near the internet router, so probably can knock a couple of degrees off that.

No A/C here, but I've good shade from the trees, and keeping the curtains drawn on the SW-facing side of the house. Plus the window on the landing is cracked open overnight to let in the breeze.

Of course, I had to wake up this morning with a furry fuzzy purry hot water bottle sharing my bed...
